WAR HAS BROUGHT OUT
NEED FOR MORE PLAY
Playground and Recreation Y car Book Notes Increased De
mand For I se of Leisure Time
New York, May I.—While the i
general effect of the war upon play- I
grounds is still an open question,
! there is no doubt that this country
has been awakened by the war, to a
keener sense of the importance of
recreation centers, according to the
19IS Year Hook of the Playground
and Recreation Association of
America just issued. The demand
for opportunities to play after work
hours is as widespread as it is en
couraging. There has been a mark
ed increase during the year both in
the centers tor evening recreation
and the attendance there.
Unquestionably the fact that thir
ty-five per cent, of the men in the
first draft were rejected as physi
cally unlit has made Americans
realize how cstcntial is upbuild
ing exercise and recreation under
the guidance of trained leaders. The
statistics collected after correspond
ence with 1,700 cities indicate a
healthy and steady progress in re
" creation work. The report of the
association shows that more than
780 playgrounds were open the
year round and evening recreation
work was conducted in more than
700 schools of 101 cities. More than
8.000 trained men and women were
engaged in directing play at re
creation centers throughout the
country.
For colored children alone more
than luO playgrounds were main
tained. Three hundred swimming
pools, four hundred public baths
and two hundred public bathing
beaches were used by thousands of
persons.
The flfeet of the war upon play
grounds and recreation was report
ed by 27 7 cities. 172 of which give
the result as unfavorable. The de
crease in attendance is attributed to
the fact that many of the older
children were working in factories.
Moreover, it was hard to get trained,
competent leaders because of the
number of men who went into the
service of their country and of wom
en who engaged in war work. In !
many cases, appropriations were out
down, playground funds were de
voted to war garden activities
and the playgrounds themselves
•were used by war agencies.
But 105 cities reported that the
war so far from checking recreation
work, had stimulated it. The at
tendance of small children in
creased. as did that of their elders
at the evening sessions. Appropria
tions were enlarged and more cen
ters established. The number of
cities initiating such work was
smaller than in 1917. being reduced
to twenty, but those cities which
continued the work called for a
greater number of leaders to con
duet their greater activities.
On the whole, the year of 191S
shows many gains. Everywhere

"Workman" asks: "I am so affected
with painful kidneys that I cannot
work regularly. My sleep is disturbed
by frequent calls, only to void small
amount and follows burning, smart
ing pains. Backaches and often chills
and fever making ine real sick for a
day.
Answer: A good tonic, soothing and
neutralizing medicine for such com
plaints is Balmwort Tablets. Try
them and continue a few weeks and
1 am sure you will write n.e of your
recovery.
"C. G." writes: "If you know rf
anything that will cure dandruff,
itching scalp and premature baldness,
please let me know what it is."
Answer: For several years I have
prescribed plain yellow Minyol as su
perior to anything known for the
treatment of diseased scalp. Get it.
in four-ounce jars with full direc
tions. It quickly overcomes ali dis
eases of hair and scalp and gives
new vigor and intense natural color
to the hair.
"Mildred" writes: "I am constantly
embsrassed because of the fact of my
extreme thinness. I have absolutely
no color in my face and lips and I
am dull and lifeless most of the time.
Please advise me what to do."
Answer: If you are so thin and
pale and your lips and cheeks ire
colorless it is because your blood is
so deficient in red corpuscles. This
can be easily overcome by the use of
three-grain Hypo-Nuclane Tablets,
which can be bad from any druggist
in sealed cartons with full directions
for taking. When the biood is en
riched by the use of these tablets
your weight Will increase.
"Edna" writes: "I suffer with rheu
matism all the time and 1 shall he
very glad if you can tell me some
thing to relieve me."

Bomber Who Ventured

It would be a hardy sort of Bol
shevist who would venture on Capi
tol Hill these days. As a result of
the effort to send bombs to Gover
nor Sproul. Attorney General Sehaf
fer and others, which was frus
.trated by investigators who found
, the infernal machines in the New
York post office yesterday, it was
noticeable to-day that there was a
1 plentiful supply of weapons in the
: various departments. Shotguns and
I revolvers are the favorites. "Not
; that we fear any trouble." said one
of the clerks to-day as he caressed
ja big 44. "but you neyer can tell
s what a gang of irresponsibles like
j those who sent the bombs might try
to do. so we are well prepared." No
fears are entertained by the authori
ties that there will be any further
| efforts on the part of those who sent
the bombs but it has been though
j best to be on guard.

Answer: Obesity is burdensome.
Excessive fat on the human body is
unnatural and frequently results
seriously. The best and safest meth
od to reduce is to take regularly five
grain Arbolone Tablets. They are put
up in sealed tubes with directions for
home use. and any well-stocked drug
gist can supply them.

|is called three-grain Sulpherb Tab
j lets made from sulphur, cream of lar-

j larly the blood is purified, the bowels

VENUS AND THE MOON MAY
BE SEEN BY DAY-LIGHT
M. W. J. Jr., of Harrisburg Natural History Society, Writes
of Event Which Is Exciting Astronomers Everywhere
rp UK brilliant evening star, Venus .
I —famed in poetry and mytliol- !
ogy—shines superbly in the west \
just now. It is the very bright ,
! planet which sets about 10 p. m. in :
| the northwest. It is alternately the !
morning and evening star; the .
| Greeks called it Phosphorus anil
Hesperus, respectively, believing it
' to be two different bodies.
' Shortly after sunset it is the tirst
star to appear, as it far surpasses in
i brilliance every other object in the
sky except the sun anil moon. So
bright is it. that after dark it casts
i under favorable conditions a dis
| tinct, albeit faint, shadow. It may
j also lie seen in broad daylight, if ;
one knows where to look for it. A
, ! number of Harrisburg folks have
| seen it in the day time.
Moon and Yenus
To-morrow afternoon sucli an op-
I port unity will be presented for per
i sons who have never seen it. The
new crescent moon and Venus liap- ,
pen to be relatively close together, I
and the moon can be used as a guide j
in finding Venus. Unless the sky is
blue and fairly transparent, how
■ ever, it will not be easily seen. |
At 4 p. m. on May : the moon \
will pass three degrees and live min- ;
utes south of Venus; hence Venus:
, will at that hour be less than six j
i moon-breadths north of the north- i
| ern horn of the moon,
i If you cannot quickly find the new
i moon, try this: Look directly over
j head; follow downward a short dis- j
; tance in the direction of the north
' western horizon, and you should
i find the crescent witliou* much dif
) ficulty. A straight line drawn
i through the two tips of the crescent
! runs practically north and south
i tat this time): it should be easy to
j determine which is tne southern
i horn of the moon, and which the
northern horn.
Looking carefully along the line
• passing through the tips of the
1 , moon's horns, at a distance equal to
• I about six diameters of the moon.
• I northwardly from the northern

By taking your stand on the shady

easily seen than by standing out in

seen either way. If 4 p. m. is in-
I convenient, the phenomenon can be

More than any of the other plan- I
ets, Venus resembles the earth, j
Venus is slightly the smaller of the
two and is somewhat nearer the

Foolish Complaints
Complaint is being made by many
people throughout the city, however,
that the solicitors are not calling
upon then). While some of the so
licitors are working at nights and
covering their territory house by
house and block by block, others are
"laying down," as reports received
at noonday luncheon show. Chair
man Andrew S. Patterson, of the
Victory I.oan committee for Harris
burg. this morning issued a state
ment in which he urged all Harris
burg patriots who have not been ap
proached by Victory Bond salesmen,
to go to the bank with which they
deal, or to any bank, and buy Vic
tory Bonds to the extent of their
resou roes.
"It simply must not be said of
Harrisburg that after the war was
over, that after the enemy had been
defeated and patriotic ardor had
been dimmed, the people simply laid
I KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy—lf You Know Dr.
Edwards' Olive Tablets
The secret of keeping young is to feel
young—to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels—thcre'snoneedof hav*
ing a sallow complexion dark rings
J under your eyes pimples—a bilious
look in your face —dull eyes with no
; sparkle. Your doc tor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in*
active bowels and liver. •
Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
hi 3 patients for years.
• Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel, are gentle in their
action yet always effective. They bring
about that exuberance of spirit, that
natural buoyancy which should be en
joyed by everyone, by toning up the liver
and clearing the system of impurities.
You will know Dr. Edwards' Olive
Tablets by their olive color. 10c and
25c per box. All druggists.
[down to the extent that the city
j failed to do its share in taking up
, Victory Bonds," said Mr. Patterson.
Cripples Io Fine
' If all of the people of Harrisburg
were like the crippled employes of
'the Capital City Artificial Limb Com
pany. this city would have bought on
the first day of the campaign $lO.-
000.000 worth of bonds. Evety one
of the employes of .his ccinpatty ,s
a buyer of bonds, and not of tngle
SSO bonds, but of bonds in quantity.
The same thing is true of the teach
ers in the Maclay street school, who
actually have stinted themselves for
months to come so that they might
buy bonds.
The indifference of the people of
the city to the call of the govern
ment that they take up Victory
Bonds is evidenced by the fact that
alst night. when several thou- j
sand people were gathered at the j
corner of Mulberry and Perry streets j
where street dancing was in prog
ress. the Victory Ixtnn salesman who I,
canvassed the crowd and who plead- !
ed for subscriptions met with a re- -
sponse that would have shamed the
little vil'age of Gratz. There were 1
"hundreds of people dancing, and
additional hundreds on the side
lines watching the dancers, but when
they were asked to buy honds they
were "not interested." The war is
over.
Counties Doing Well
Reports from Perry and Juniata
counties to-day are to the effect that
these counties are going to take up
their full allotments of Victory'
Bonds. Cumberland county has taken
its entire n'lotment. Lebanon, Lan- •
caster. York and Berks counties are',
buying bonds in quantities surpris- |
ing to Philadelphia headquarters.!
The City of Harrisburg, however, ap- ;
parent'y doesn't care whether there
are bonds in its strong boxes or not.
The war is over.
They had a band at Chestnut!
street auditorium to-day ready to
head a parade of successful Victory
Bond salesmen. It was planned to'
take this parade through the prin
cipal streets of the city and whoop
things up so that Harrisburg would
know that its patriotic citizens had
again demonstrated their great in- \
terest. their undying support and.
their faith in the future of democ
racy. But they didn't need this band.
It played some lively airs during the
noonday luncheon. but what it
really should have played was Chop
in's "Marche Funebre." A dirge
would have been far more in keeping
with the spirit of the occasion. The 1
war is over.
